  1. You just described mainstream Doctors and Psychiatrists. People have no idea how power hungry these credentials have gotten. It's actually happened at most levels in Western industries.

  2.  @debrarymer  Bad analogy, a tradesman's reputation is manifested in his work. Therefore he gets no work if he does a bad job. Psychologists (like healthcare and most other white-collar professions) are protected by bureaucratic red-tape that blur the lines between necessity, scope of practice, and state board policy. You can have an NP or Physician give out bad advice all day long, but it doesn't matter because their reputation is covered by the state medical board and coverage that insurance approves of. Assuming credentialing fixes micro/macro errors in a domain in a classic mistake. By creating an institution that governs the industry via credentialing; you eventually guarantee that the governing board will create more problems to justify their existence. It's the ultimate pitfall of intellectuals. They're smart enough to think up a system that governs lower tiers, but not experienced enough to realize how it will be used to gate-keep power and profits for their special club members.
